improvement.
The audit process is to be conducted in collaboration and consultation of key stakeholders.
Start by developing your audit questions. These are the questions that you hope your review
will answer. The questions should be relevant to the document performance indictors you
set. The following are some examples of audit questions:
 Has the target been met?
 What prevented the targets from being met?
 Are employees aware of the requirements?
 Are procedures being followed?
 Have record keeping processes been followed?
You should have at least three questions relating to the performance standards associated
with your policy.
Are employees addressing the policy requirements?
Do the policy has been understood by all staff members?
How the policies are been implemented?
Next, draw a flow chart showing the audit or review process. This process should explain
how you intend to answer your audit questions. Include the types of evidence you will
review. Remember to include consultation with the key stakeholders.
